NHL Penalty Minutes Leaders: Forwards

2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by penalty minutes, so they are not buried under the defensemen.

Penalty minutes add up every minor, major and misconduct. Fighting majors and misconducts make the total lumpy: one bad night can add 17 minutes. In leagues that split forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.

Leader in 2017-18: Micheal Haley (FLA), 212 PIM.
